- Content in Step 1
- Buttons in Step 1
- Content in Step 2
- Buttons in Step 2
- Content in Step 3
- Buttons in Step 3
- General section:
- Step Counter
- Unused navigation buttons
Prior to this release, the translation units were in jumbled order in the XLIFF file making the translation process difficult.
IMPORTANT: Repetitive navigation buttons in the engagement are translated only in the first occurrence and reused for the other steps.
Download a Translated XLIFF File
You can now download an uploaded XLIFF file using Export API. This provides you with a translated file that lets you edit content easily.
IMPORTANT: This is applicable only when the values of version and strategy of import and export XLIFF files remain the same.

For more information on how to import or export XLIFF files, refer to the Work with Import and Export XLIFF APIs article.
Upload Translated Files to an Active Engagement
Users can now upload translated files to an active engagement in a non-production environment using the Import API.

Product Mapper
Product Mapper helps in describing your product features with a simple "point, click, and describe." Each mapped feature can be viewed hierarchically within your Product Feature Tree.
Enhanced Instrumentation in Suggestion Mode
Gainsight PX has enhanced the product instrumentation experience by improving the Suggestion Mode. When you enable product mapping in Suggestion Mode, all the clickable elements with <a>tag on a product page are mapped automatically. These elements can then be added to the respective features in the Product Tree. This enhancement helps to achieve comprehensive and faster product mapping. Prior to this release, automatic mapping was limited to the page URL alone.
Ability to Label Product Features or Modules in Mapper
You can now create labels to organize product features and modules in Product Mapper. The labels make it easier to select a group of relevant features to create analytics reports or to export feature usage data via integrations. You can use the labeled features to build queries using Query Builder and to export feature usage data using Data Export.
Example Business Use Case: Consider that you want to track the adoption of 20 new features from a recent product release. You can now label these features using the release version number and track them using Adoption Report.
Notes:
- You can add a maximum of 10 features or modules to a label.
- You can create a maximum of 20 labels per product.
For more information on how to create and use labels, refer to the Instrument your Product using Product Mapper article.
For more information on creating Data Exports using labels, refer to the Bulk Export Custom Reports from PX article. For more information on building queries using feature labels, refer to the Query Builder article.

The filter capability lets you to slice and dice the adoption data using the Custom and Global Context filters. You can further drill-down the user and account adoption details from the list view.
Example Business Use Case: Consider that the product management persona who manages the Product Tree for the organization wants to track the feature adoption after mapping the product. The mapping is intended to trigger events and fetch adoption data. The manager previously had to analyze this data from User Profile or create Analytics reports. The Adoption tab now provides a quick view of the user or account-level feature adoption data.

This scope triggers an engagement every time the user qualifies for the engagement audience criteria, even if it means triggering the engagement multiple times in the same session. When the schedule is active, the engagement is displayed multiple times to all the qualified users.
Note: This qualification scope is not applicable for users who use the Gainsight PX SDK version lower than 1.8.0. For these users, the engagement is shown only once in a session even if the Everytime Qualification Scope is enabled for them.
Desktop
Gainsight PX’s Desktop SDK for .NET is built for desktop applications. The SDK supports the ability to create, read, update, or delete the User and Account records. The developer-friendly Gainsight PX SDK can track back-end data and services, operationalize the engagement lifecycle, and fetch/update usage data and metadata.
